Fibronectin glomerulopathy (FG) is caused by fibronectin 1 () gene mutations. A renal biopsy was performed on a 4-year-old girl with incidentally discovered proteinuria (150 mg/dL); her family history of renal disease was negative. Markedly enlarged glomeruli (mean glomerular diameter: 196 μm; age-matched controls: 140 μm), α-SMA-positive and Ki-67-positive mesangial cell proliferation (glomerular proliferation index 1.

Mechanistic insights into epithelial-mesenchymal transition mediated cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.

Sci Rep

College of Pharmacy, Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju-si, 52828, Gyeongnam, Republic of Korea.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is designated as one of the prime causes of chemoresistance in many cancers. In our previous study we established that cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) is associated with EMT using sensitive OV90 cells and its resistant counterparts OV90CisR1 and OV90CisR2. In this study, we revealed through RNAseq analysis that ITGA1 can play essential part in EMT mediated cisplatin resistance in OC.

Mechanically regulated microcarriers with stem cell loading for skin photoaging therapy.

Bioact Mater

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325035, China.

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation compromises skin structural integrity and results in disruption of normal physiological functions. Stem cells have gained attention in anti-photoaging, while controlling the tissue mechanical microenvironment of cell delivery sites is crucial for regulating cell fate and achieving optimal therapeutic performances. Here, we introduce a mechanically regulated human recombinant collagen (RHC) microcarrier generated through microfluidics, which is capable of modulating stem cell differentiation to treat photoaged skin.

AHNAK2: a potential diagnostic biomarker for pancreatic cancer related to cellular motility.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Centre for Tumour Biology, Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, Charterhouse Square, London, EC1M 6BQ, UK.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma lacks suitable biomarkers for early diagnosis of disease. In gene panels developed for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, high AHNAK2 mRNA expression was one possible biomarker. In silico analysis of published human sample datasets (n = 177) and ex vivo analysis of human plasma samples (n = 30 PDAC with matched 30 healthy control) suggested AHNAK2 could be a diagnostic biomarker.
